Evolution Travel Pants Will Evolve Your Style

For your next backpacking trip, ditch the jeans or cargo shorts and go with a more versatile, travel-friendly option for men. A new Kickstarter product (and the most-funded technical pants in the platform’s history), the Evolution Pant recently reached $500,000 in funding from more than 3,000 backers and it’s easy to see why.

Designed to “simplify our clothing and our lives,” the Evolution Pant is built for both leisure and activity with a nylon fabric called Supplex, supplied by a Swedish sustainable factory, that has the appearance of stylish casual wear with the comfort of active wear.

Will Watters, co-founder and creative director, Western Rise, Evolution Pant’s parent company, said, “With the feel of cotton, two-way stretch and the durability that comes from modern fiber technology, Supplex is the key to the pants’ breathability, durability and versatility.”

The fabric has the look and feel of your favorite yoga pants, but is water- and stain-proof with technical perks that make it ideal for travel.

The pants are durable and wrinkle resistant; resist stains from water, dirt, wine, beer and coffee; are pill-proof regardless of activity or number of wears; breathable; can be washed less than your normal pair of pants; have a hidden zippered wallet pocket and hidden media pocket for phones and credit cards; air dry in less than 30 minutes, in case your backpacking adventures require a quick wash in the sink; and are sustainably sourced and made in the United States.

“Since the beginning, we have set out to create the next generation of clothing that are versatile pieces that work together to look amazing and function even better,” said Watters. “The Evolution Pant offers all consumers better options to simplify their wardrobes with fewer pieces that are built to keep pace with their busy lifestyles.“
